Can you escape crowds at Taiwan's FAMOUS Taroko Park?

We are at one of Taiwan's most popular sights - Taroko National Park! We get an incredibly early start to the day, trying to avoid the day trips that arrive from Taipei. Inside Taroko Gorge, we hike Xiaozhuilu Trail, Shakadang Trail, and Swallow Grotto. We also visit XinCheng Night market, eat braised pork for the first time, and enjoy breakfast with a view!
